Briquetting Plant: Creating Employment Opportunities For Rural Areas

India in terms of land is seventh largest county in the world and accounts 60.47 percent of land under agriculture. It has a tremendous amount of potential when it comes to properly utilizing this waste and manufacturing them to produce biomass briquettes. Due to large area under cultivation great amount of biomass waste is produced. The waste has tremendous amount of energy in the form of carbon contained inside it which if properly utilized will release great energy that can be used in different sectors.

The biomass technology in rural area is boon as it creating job for many people. Availability of raw material and set up of briquette plant has opened job opportunities for them. The sector mostly concentrated to villages because of the favorable conditions like easy availability of raw material, labour and open space. The most important and critical for the industry set up is the raw material easily available by harvesting crops. The large number of biomass waste which cannot be used as a fodder for cattle and other purposes is perfect raw material for this industry.

The raw material than is transported to their destination opening employment opportunities in this sector. For further processing of the raw material the plant need manpower. For carrying out different operational activities the plant needs workforce opening large opportunities of employment. The biomass briquetting technology has proved to be a boon for mostly rural areas. On the first hand it is creating jobs for rural people and on the second it is offering big solution to power scarcity. Biomass briquetting machines are used to produce briquettes that are more efficiency and more professional way of harnessing and utilizing the biomass waste.  For more information you can visit the website: www.jkbioenergy.com

My Maiden Visit to A Briquette Plant

I recently visited a village in Punjab who has gained popularity because of its self-reliance in producing and supplying uninterrupted power for carrying out agricultural activities. The unit was located inside the agricultural land and was procuring raw material from there. The project was joint venture of private and government. Government is offering a full support to these projects as they are contributing in rural development. There we thought of visiting a briquetting plant and how electricity is produced inside the plant. To answer our questions we were accompanied by official associated with operation of unit. Inside the plant we had seen how briquetting blocks are used in generating electricity.

The plant operates twenty four hour using raw material available in abundance. The industry is environment friendly because it produces no carbon while generating electricity. The official further told us that the industry is also earning carbon credit and making good bucks and profits. Inside the plant there were various types of biomass briquette machines installed producing the briquettes which is the final product used in generating electricity.

I was curious of what are the briquettes and asked the official accompanying us inside the plant. He explained to us that they are biomass waste of plant and agricultural crop. The raw material is used by biomass briquetting machines to produced compressed blocks of briquettes. This is more efficient way of utilizing the biomass waste instead of burning it in their raw form.

India is the only country where the briquetting sector is growing in spite of some early hiccups, he told to us. He further elaborated that because the sector has great potential corporate are also starting to invest in this sector. This will further strengthen the industry which is only benefiting the nation and rural economy. For more information you can visit the website.
